He claims Chicago us his native elty, says he owns ex tensive mining Interests In Alaska, and has an Income of 11000 a month. Nevertheless, he spent the night In prison on the default of f 10,000 bonds required by the federal authorltUa The recovery of the bond was mailt through the subtreusury In Wall street where It had been delivered by a bank messenger. Thirty of the some series were taken In the Manhattan robbery and this Is only the third one found. Two others were recovered In 1880. In addition to the three prisoners mentioned the complaint on which they were arrested served also ns the basis for a warrant for the arrest of one Samuel Wurrent Miller, ftacret iirvtt'H dutM'tivea who um titinv on tha lease, say they are In doubt whether Mllkr Is ii real or a mythical person- . im uiuy Bviuniiiu mm aura h man exists upon the fact that his namo, written out In full, appears upon the bond In the place where the name of the Manhsttun Havings Institution should appear and the additional fact that Dr. Wllcoxson d-s-rlbe Miller as 'the man from whose hands the bond jrame Into his possession as the result of a business transaction.

The doctor said b . maJs A largo for tune In Alaska and Dutch Oulana min ing property and that Miller recently entered upon negotiations for some of the former. Miller, he said, offered to make the entire payment In United States four per cent bonds. "Those are aa good as gold to me," Wllcoxson says he told Miller, anJ Mil ler thereupon produced the one which caused the trouble, explaining that by using It to bind the deal h could save brokerage. "I accepted the bond." said Wllcox son. "and went with Miller to the Shoe and Leather bank, where 1 have had an account for some time, I In troduced Miller to PwMent Moyer, who remarked that the security was Kilt edged and affixed his signature and the bank's seal to certify the trans fer. I have not seen Miliar since Mondny afternoon, yur understand then was that he was to see men aguin In a few days, when he would turn over the other bonds and receive from me hjs slock."
